A continuous protocol for the epoxidation of olefins, monocyclic terpenes, and Alpha Beta Unsaturated Carbonyl Synthons using eco-friendly Flow Reactor Conditions

In this article, the oxidation of alcohols into carbonyl compounds was studied in oxygen atmospheres using a copper oxide on graphene oxide (CuO@GO) nano composites catalyst, synthesized by the wet chemistry method. CuO@GO nano composites were prepared from GO, and CuO NPs by the sol-gel method. The transformation of aromatic alcohols into corresponding carbonyl compounds in good-to-high yields were observed using the CuO@GO catalyst under an oxygen atmosphere. Synthesized CuO@GO was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, XPS, TEM, FE-SEM, TEM, and SEM analyses, and revealed intercalation of CuO-NPs on/in GO nano sheets through the chelation of Cu+2 ions with CO, COOH, and OH groups presenting on the GO nano sheets. The catalytic activity of CuO@GO nano composites for the conversion of alcohols into carbonyl compounds were evaluated through TOF (2.56 × 10−3 mol g−1 min−1). The use of CuO@GO has shown catalytic activity and recyclability with a high conversion of alcohols to ketones. We assume that the proposed CuO@GO catalyst can be used for other key organic transformations and will be evaluated in the future.
